ETHER DOME A gorgeous invitation into Dreamtime . . . . This music is as luscious as a fresh, hot, Krispy Kreme doughnut. Smooth, luxurious, textured, delicate and compelling. You melt into an altered state of consciousness without even realizing that you have been seduced by these soothing feelings. This album is a very rich aural experience. "Unawakened", "The Incubus Wave" and "Plateau to Level 30" are especially hypnotic as Richard Bone wraps your consciousness in waves of undulating sounds that evoke really sensual feelings within. Song #3 "Calenture" is like being counted down into sleep. The music paces with your breathing as you feel yourself slipping deeper and deeper into that delicious relaxed space that offers total release from everything that may be causing tension or pain. It is a wonderful anaesthesia. When the voices come in about 3:45 minutes into the song one can imagine hearing an angelic choir soothing you and offering the promise of comfort and peace. Song 4 "The Letheon Men" could easily be the "Borgs" when they appear in their cubes in a Star Trek episode. You can almost hear them say "you will surrender, resistence is futile", indeed. I think this is my favorite cut of the entire CD. If you are of a mind to get high on music and want something really exotic and erotic, then this CD will do it to you. On every level.
